The past is not what it was.

[Marxism will] in a generation...

[Marxism will] in a generation or so [go] into the limbo of most heresies, but meanwhile it will have poisoned the Russian Revolution.

War is not the best way of settling differences; it is the only way of preventing their being settled for you.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

How quickly revolutions grow old; and, worse still, respectable.

America is the only country ever founded on a creed.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

The unconscious democracy of America is a very fine thing. It is a true and deep and instinctive assumption of the equality of citizens, which even voting and elections have not destroyed.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

Men are ruled, at this minute ...

Men are ruled, at this minute by the clock, by liars who refuse them news, and by fools who cannot govern.

If you attempt an actual argument with a modern paper of opposite politics, you will have no answer except slanging or silence.

He is a very shallow critic who cannot see an eternal rebel in the heart of a conservative.

For fear of the newspapers politicians are dull, and at last they are too dull even for the newspapers.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

It is the mark of our whole modern history that the masses are kept quiet with a fight. They are kept quiet by the fight because it is a sham-fight; thus most of us know by this time that the Party System has been popular only in the sense that a football match is popular.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

I have formed a very clear con...

I have formed a very clear conception of patriotism. I have generally found it thrust into the foreground by some fellow who has something to hide in the background. I have seen a great deal of patriotism; and I have generally found it the last refuge of the scoundrel.

There cannot be a nation of millionaires, and there never has been a nation of Utopian comrades; but there have been any number of nations of tolerably contented peasants.

All government is an ugly necessity.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

It is hard to make government representative when it is also remote.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

It is a good sign in a nation ...

It is a good sign in a nation when things are done badly. It shows that all the people are doing them. And it is bad sign in a nation when such things are done very well, for it shows that only a few experts and eccentrics are doing them, and that the nation is merely looking on.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of the Conservatives is to prevent the mistakes from being corrected.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

I never could see anything wrong in sensationalism; and I am sure our society is suffering more from secrecy than from flamboyant revelations.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

With all that we hear of American hustle and hurry, it is rather strange that Americans seem to like to linger on longer words.

Gilbert Chesterton 1598 quotes

It is true that I am of an older fashion; much that I love has been destroyed or sent into exile.
